| About two hundred and seven students
have thus far been enrolled.
| DIR. Quinche was called to the bedside of
his very sick mother, in Illinois, last
week.
Gen. Sears was sick several days last
week, with cold and rheumatism but the
boys report him all right, now, and in a
| fine humor.
Miss Annie Quinche has returned from
her visit of come two months in Clinton
and jackson. Her absence has been keenly
felt by not few of her friends, and her
return is welcomed heartily by all.
Mrs. Alice Beynus was elected Librari-
an, and has assumed the duties of her Of
fee with the appearance of one we'll quail
fed, and determined to discharge every
duty conscientiously and promptly.
The several ministers of the churches in
Oxford have kindly agreed to conduct al
Tentatively the chapel services again this
session, as they did last. This seems to
have the desired effect of impressing upon
the BOYS the fact that these morning exer-
cises are religious service and not a mere
puritan formality, or occasion for hilarity
and boisterous stamping of feet.
Mr.. w. A. Buchanan, member of the
Senior Law Glass, died on the 10th, OF
hematuria. His remains, accompanied by
his father and mother, were carried to their
home, in Calhoun county, for interment
1t seems strange fact, that while there can
De no local cause for disease about the Uni
versity, still many persons coming from
malarial districts, although apparently
we'll when leaving, soon develop the mala- |
ria after arriving. Mr.. Buchanan, how
ever, had been suffering with his trouble |
for some months before leaving home. |
Some other boys from malarious districts |
are having ehills, though none seem TO re- |
quire any medical aid more than good
substantial doses of quinine.
Rev. j. w. McLaurin, OF New Orleans. |
General Agent for the American Bible |
Society, for the District OF Mississippi and /
Louisiana, delivered lecture to the Y.
NJ. Q. A., Sunday afternoon. His subject |
was PRAYER, which he treated in an ear
nest and attractive manner. His method
OF treating subject, and his general bear
ing every way, stamp him as m an OF un-
questioned piety and holy conservation.
The large number OF young men in atten-
the student body. What a pity that the
7. M. c. A. has not a hall of its own in
with the University buildings
We doubt if all the churches OF every de-
nomination in the State, together with the
University authorities, could do better
hing for present and future morals of our
voung men, than to erect an attractive and
comfortable temple for the Y. M. G. A. oil
he University of Mississippi.
Several students have already changed
heir courses, thus early in the session. 1t
seems that one great error In the minds of
roung men is that they imagine they are
BOUND to 60 into business
'usiness-in the early future. They hear
II fortunes being made in a day in Biz
ningham and other places they see won /,
lerful advsncements being made in labor
aving machinery and 30 they are FESTIVE
Q enter at once upon the active and busy
ocafions Of life. Hence they allepe thew
ave not time to take regular four-years
ourso in college, and they demand q
horter and easier course Under pressure
1 this demand, the Faculty and Trustees,
